After my last update, I finished installing all the car's trim, aside from the front end trim (waiting until I have the front end/engine work done.
After that, I pulled the driveshaft (which was challenging on its own) and did a complete rear suspension refresh (new shocks, new trailing arm bushings, new rear subframe mounts). Here are some highlights:
So, I'm deep into mechanical repairs. Now that the rear end is done and the driveshaft is out, I'm in the process of pulling the transmission so that I can replace the clutch:
At this point, I'm literally a few bolts away from having the transmission out of the car. Once it's out, the new clutch and associated components go in, at which point, I can reinstall the driveshaft and everything else under the car.

ReplyDeleteHi! I'm from Brazil and I have one project like the yours.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Thiago Della, I bought a Mercedes Benz 250 1982 (blue).
Your website is amazing and I am following you.
Can we keep contact? Do you have facebook?
hugs!
I don't know if you are maintaining this site anymore, but I saw your video on Rust encapsulator and I wanted to get your opinion on what was best to treat the ugly underbody rust on my 2003 Suburban. The body is actually just about clean although I think I see bubbles forming on its rear flank and by the tailgate lock. But the underside from the tow hitch on down has what I know is not vital butt still pretty impressive superficial rust on everything on the undercarriage. My mechanic says he would just power wash it and then paint it with I suppose a product like you recommend. What would you do?
